Even more on Abortion

It seems I am not the only one who agrees that the abortion battle must be won in hearts and minds, not in court rooms. Surprisingly the voice of agreement comes not from a staunch conservative like myself, but from liberal editorial pages. Sadly their aim is not to end abortion, but to concede on key points about it in order to focus on others. An end around of sorts. As Ann Coulter rightly points out " The Democrats are trying to "reframe" their message to make people think they believe abortion is wrong." I suppose however that if this becomes the prevailing sentiment on the left we could count it a victory of sorts or as New York Times, William Saletan puts it,"You can tell yourself that the pro-choice majority stayed home in the last election, or that they voted on other issues, or that Democrats botched the debate. But those excuses are getting tired. Sixteen years ago, as the behavior of voters and politicians showed, abortion was clearly a winning issue for you. Now it isn't. You have a problem." It took the losing congress and two national elections to figure it out folks but they finally realized, normal mainstream Americans do not generally like the idea of taking life, any kind of life. As such I am sure that if they have not already, they will soon realize that the majority of Americans are God fearing and basically moral human beings who don't generally care for raving fanatic nutballs in public office (too bad for Tedd, John, Hillary, Schumer, Biden, Finestein, Harman). If they are not careful "Moveon" may just be what America does on an even larger scale than previously seen. We are a long way from convincing the left our position is the correct one, but knowing they are begining to realize that other people, a lot of other people are convinved is a good start.
